So you have decided to have a Backyard Outdoor Movie Party? You made a great decision, outdoor movies are a blast and a night all will remember. To ensure you Backyard Movie Party is a success we have put together a checklist to ask when choosing an Outdoor Movie Screen Rental Company:

Do they have multiple screen sizes? Professional Outdoor Movie companies will carry a wide range of screen sizes to accommodate your unique outdoor movie event needs. Multiple Movie ScreenRental Packages allows you to choose what best fits your needs!

Do they have a wide range of audio equipment? This is an extremely important factor to consider. Having the proper audio is the key to any successful event!

What type of outdoor projectors do they use? This separates the Pro's from the Novice! Professional outdoor projectors range from 4000-10,000 lumens and are very expensive. Your typical projectors do not have enough lumens (brightness) to produce the quality picture you deserve! Be sure to ask how many lumens the projector produces.

What if it rains? Do they have a weather guarantee? Do they charge you extra? Most professional companies should allow you to reschedule without penalty. For example, Buckeye Outdoor Cinema located in Ohio does not charge extra or penalize you if your event is canceled due to weather.

Do they carry extras? Again, this separates the Pro's from the Novice! Popcorn Machines, Snow Cone Machines, Cotton Candy Machines, Microphones, X-box, and Rockband are examples of the final touches that can make your event a night to remember!

Do they have refferalls from a wide range of customers? Professional Outdoor Movie Companies shoud be able to easily produce referrals and testimonials of their services. They should also assist you with Outdoor Movie Ideas for your event!

Ask the above questions and you will feel confident on your Movie Screen Rental Company decision!

2.Location! Location! Location! Choosing the right location is one of the keys to a successful event. Choose a location with the least amount of light pollution as possible. Examples of light pollution are: ambient light from cars, street lights, sunlight, etc. All of which do not play well with Outdoor Movie Projectors. Be sure to talk about this very important factor with the Screen Rental company. Below are some popular locations we have provided Outdoor Movie Fundraisers.

3. Choose the Ultimate Movie! Now this is where it gets tough...the most obvious choice is a family-friendly flick like the popular Disney movies. Keep in mind, the Movie Rental company does not provide the movie for you. If hosting a public viewing or using certain movies, you may need a special license. The Screen Rental company you choose should be able to assist you in this process.
